Bro I cant tell u How much i love your both games the story pace and the cliffhangers u put me on, the visuals the art the comedy ALSO the writing of THIS MASTERPIECE EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT!. ITS like playing an AAA game i dont really get the feels or the enjoyment from them but maayn Your games im laughing and on edge like wtf is going to happen next they really do play with emotions. I LOVE YOU !!! PS:Bro pls make more games like these ,and AGAIN THANK YOU.
Eternum the game is such an ingenious plot device, I think you struck gold with that. Being able to do any genre and it would still make sense in the context of the story, it's amazing.
Been playing this game a couple days, and it is just beautiful in all but one aspect. the story is awesome, the visuals, the transitions, i love this eternum, "the red herring" server was incredible, the characters are developed and i feel for them..... i would probably rate a solid 4.5/5, maybe even higher because its not often a visual novel as so gets me so invested. im falling pretty heavy for luna, and i very much enjoyed meeting nova, i think i'll like future interactions with her.
the lost points is nothing against you, it is just my personal preferences. i prefer ladies "smaller" so the exaggerated hips/ass/thighs turns me off in nearly every scene that brings attention to them. i just finished the first scene with annie (i decided to stop / go to sleep) and her upper half was near perfect for me... i hope in the future there are some less "thicc" options, but im not the egotistical one to knock a creator for making content they personally enjoy, only state my own preferences in a "request and hope" fashion.... even if nothing changes, take my praise for everything else in the game, and know i appreciate the work :) keep on with this (and future) materpiece(s)
I got the game for free, as i am extremely financially have-nothing at the moment, but no sob story... only mention to say: rest assured, i will pay value for the game once i get back on my feet (or at least access to a car, since brother/roommate flipped and totalled the one i was using, driving drunk christmas)
edit: finished working on school project with alex, and things that followed... ima change my rating to 5/5, even with the "thicc". you got something special in you, with such good storytelling.
Edit 2: oh god, i love nova! just finished photoshoot with pennelope. okay, no more edits, just dont know how to express how much i love these characters.
i wish there was some valid way to truly convey my appreciation, lol. there is actual people and personalities in the words and behind the images, and im falling for them, i cant recall a game ever getting me so invested. i love nova, alex (i can call her that now), and luna, and annie too.... actually, most games send me the opposite way. i may get attracted to a character on physical end (most memories are back in ps1 days. loved FF7 aerith, loved RE2 claire, loved FF8 quistis, etc) but then either there was no personality, or some personality traits that turned me off, or the game itself forced the protagonist to pursue a different character. i legit cant recall a game i've played that got me so into a character. you are truly a magician with this storytelling and this is a masterpiece i will be saving in my collection / data hoard
edit: nooooo, this cant be it! it cant end here! when 0.3?! lol
awsome game, good story so far, as a lt of potential, also ignore what im about to say i dont mean it... HAVING SAID THAT fuck you fuck everything you stand for this game is dogshit with that bullshit scarry fucking part in the fucked up game that whore lona sugested that... (sorry had to get out of my system, scarry af)
It's funny how half of the players absolutely hate horror in your games while the other half loves it and is craving for more and scarrier moments 🤣
I want more ! but i also feel bad for people that feel uncomfortable about it, maybe you should add an option to skip the horror parts or something to prevent jumpscares for the sensitive people out there trying to enjoy your fucking banger game !
You are a genius. Almost all other AVN developers need to take note of how it's done. No one wants to read 10,000 pages of text. We want to have fun and see some beautiful boobies. First Once In a Lifetime and now Eternum. My only minor complaint about your games would just be that the women seem to have similar faces and body types, and could use a little more variety. Even with that, these games are the best of the best in adult visual novels.
Thanks Kotaru. You can check the progress bar on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages, or the #announcements channel on my Discord. I'll start 0.3 bar soon.
I don't actually think this is true but it wouldn't surprise me to discover that the MC's father is the Founder(hence why he is working all the time). But, my actual theory is that they used the MC in some secret neurological testing, which explains why his compatibility to Eternum is 100%; because he is actually the baseline from which everyone else is compared to. Why he would be used above others I couldn't tell you. And, if Caribidis uses this as a plot point, you know where to contact me for the royalty negotiations! LOL
Honestly,considering what happened in OiaLT, I hope Cari doesn't go this route or if so, makes it distinct enough so it isn't just repeating plot points. Don't get me wrong, in OiaLT it was handled well,but I don't want it showing up again in Eternum.
0.2 made this game turn from really good to amazing. For you that is thinking about trying this game. I would love to give the following heads up:
TLDR: the game is AMAZING but not close to finished, and the NSFW scenes are sparse but the quality of them is above average.
This game is really interesting, it has a unique and interesting world, reminding of animes such as Sword Art Online, or movies/books like Ready Player One. But IMHO better thought out, and more believable. The story is really interesting and captivation. It's a game that makes you play the game, not for the NSFW content (even though those scenes are really good), but for the story. You want to know how it will end.
The game is also stunning visually, both the characters and the environment is really well done. And even though there are alot of oversized boobs, and the MC have a huge penis, it's still in the realm of human sizes. Only complaint I would have would be the haircut of the MC.
The relationship building is in the early stages and pretty "normal". There are some "taboo" options for those who like it (people that you have know since you where a child, but not in any way related to). And there is no sexual scenes that you are "forced" to have. the few that you have the option to have are purely your choice.
The game also have a lot of humor, and a few thrilling / scary scenes. Some of them good, others great, with a few less funny exceptions.
Audio, is something this game have, but not to much, and I know that this is something that the creator are right now working on. (it's still better then what most Renpy games have)
Overall I would rate this game a 7/10 (because it's not yet finished) With a potential to be a 10/10 when finished.
I wouldn't worry about the hair cut problem. Caribdis pulled a fast one on us in OiaL about half way in. These kinds of twists are what make his games one of my favorites and definitely inspire me.
I don't even know how to express what I'm feeling after playing the new version... it's a work of art that I hope will never end...
At the end of OIALT, when I heard about this game, I really didn't think it was going to be as good as OIALT was, but now I can see how wrong I was, the emotions and the graphics are so good that literally every moment of the game is in memory for a long time, I had already quite liked the first version, and I literally watched the discord, waiting for that bar to go up to 100% of how anxious I was for this version, and thinking that I'll have to wait any longer gives me agony , ahah this game really touched me... even the music.
Speaking of music, can you tell me the name of the songs from eva and annie's sex scene, or some link to them? These songs only made the sex scenes better!
Anyway, keep up the good work and happy new year! I hope 2022 is a year full of surprises from you :)
I just completed the game. The story is incredible and the humor is perfect. This game has you feel the whole spectrum of emotions. I won't stop thinking about it until 0.3 is out.
Ngl, At first i was slightly sad that there wasn't that many NSFW content in the game but oh lord the story is so amazing and compelling it makes me forget that how sad i was, also with the current pacing of the story i think it makes sense why there aren that many (The NSFW contents that is) because the relationship between MC and other characters are still "building up", would be pretty weird if they just start " getting busy" on the get go. Keep up the good work ! I hope u get to reach ur milestone :)
What can I say, I absolutely love this game.its not like other games where there is just porn.Story is really interesting and I hope dev would mantain that level of storytelling instead of making this another complete Porn game.
0.2 was the best Christmas present ever! The new transitions and animations are incredible. You are an amazing artist, and like I've said previously, your storytelling is as well. Can't wait to learn more about Calypso!
This is the most amazing game I've played I think. Love the things I recognized. Sunshot from Destiny 2? Alright, alright, alright. I can't wait to be Alex's Prince, and suspect she's Thanatos which is hilarious to me. Hope she's my untouched Princess and just love all the other girls as well. Stupendous job and I'm excited to play more!
Alright, 0.2 was probably the coolest Christmas present I've gotten in the last few decades. Thank you for that. Loved the new events, I just wish they lasted about a thousand times longer because oh God I want more.
Still believe that Thanatos guy is secretly Stabby Mike. :P
I... do actually prefer the previous relationship screens and gallery, though. >_> Not important, I just thought they had more style/looked cooler in 0.1.
Amazing game so far, just like Once in a lifetime. Great characters, humor and interesting story. I made an account here just so I could let you know how much I'm enjoying it.
Quick question, is there a way to pay for a handful of updates? Say 60 for the next 3 or so? Or do I have to be a patron.
The best way is it become a patron if you want to do that and get the updates early. You can also get the same benefits on Subscribestar, if you prefer that ^^ https://subscribestar.adult/caribdis
Bro it just keeps getting better and better i already finished the newest update seriously idk how the process works or anything but have ever you guys ever considered making an anime out of Eternum that would be so sick it would be one of the very few that i could watch again and again thx for all the hard work you guys are killin it
So I activated the text to speech by accident and I accidentally found a typo the 2nd time u first meet Dalia lol. "So with all these years that have passed, what *you have* been up to?..." Just wanted to point something out just this once haha
Wow. I like to check things out before I contribute. This project deserves contribution. Some gray matter and sense of humor have gone into this. You deserve applause.
This definitely is more than the typical nonsensical, porn-VN, and one actually can relate to the protagonist and the other characters. Way more than superficial bots in here!
Great game in development! I like the way of storytelling, the fact that all female characters are almost equally likeable and have depth. ( I almost wish the game'd be more interactive, to be 'really' playing Eternum, but - wrong genre ;-). Keep up the good work, I'm playing again for the less obvious choices (shovel / goat).
So..... I just finished 0.2 and............ wow......... I mean........ a gem of doom.............
I knew it was coming and I new you would find but not this early in the game.......all I have to say is if there is not an ending where you get all the gems of doom and become the founder then ima be mad!!! but even if there isn't Ill still love the game but Ill love you even more for making some of the best games on this platform. also I would like to thank you for being so interactive with your community because I noticed you always read the comments and reply to as many as you can even if its a simple "thank you" that's something many creators don't do, but you.......you are not just a creator or a person behind a screen........ you are a very kind person that takes the time to listen to others and respond to them even when you could be working on your game but instead you take the time for your community....
you are a legend in many ways that others don't see... all the little things you do and say go unrecognized by many people and I just wanted to tell you this to basically say that I recognize the little thing and I appreciate all the things you do big and small. and thank you for being there for your community but not just being there but for engaging with them as well.
p.s. I didn't have A profile pic before because I didn't know what to put but since I love you so much I put my profile pic as your so I hope you don't mind.
I also changed my bio to a link to your profile if you want to check it out.

Yes it is 🤩
Haha, "capital of Sweden". I am from Sweden.
Seriously, this game is eating me alive. I've been playing it non stop for 5 h now, and I'm not even in a condition to play a game atm.
I love it, keep the great story going
Glad you like it!

Haha it's in the works!
Sir your game is worth waiting for 100 days. You're the best.
I'm a milf guy and yeah Nancy is hot (I love her scene with Gertrude, she's so evil) but in this game, Penelope is my girl.
And in this update, new girl is the best girl. My theory: I can smell a Hot chick teacher from mile away. 😂
It's the best playing with sound but while playing the scary scene, I turn it off. Because I think i can't handle it. 😂
Thank you very much!
awsome game, good story so far, as a lt of potential, also ignore what im about to say i dont mean it...
HAVING SAID THAT
fuck you fuck everything you stand for this game is dogshit with that bullshit scarry fucking part in the fucked up game that whore lona sugested that...
(sorry had to get out of my system, scarry af)
Haha it was meant to be scary
It's funny how half of the players absolutely hate horror in your games while the other half loves it and is craving for more and scarrier moments 🤣
I want more ! but i also feel bad for people that feel uncomfortable about it, maybe you should add an option to skip the horror parts or something to prevent jumpscares for the sensitive people out there trying to enjoy your fucking banger game !

How can I see the progress bar?
On my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages, or the #announcements channel on my Discord. I'll start 0.3 bar soon.
thanks!!!
I downloaded this with the intent of being able to jerk off.
Instead I find myself being scared shitless and then promptly aroused 5 seconds later. 10/10
Honestly I'm really enjoying this game and would love to know when future releases are out. With my only complaints being the MC's hair.
Thanks Kotaru. You can check the progress bar on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages, or the #announcements channel on my Discord. I'll start 0.3 bar soon.

I was thinking the same thing. I think the Founder is the father though or he is the MC in the future
Hahaha won't deny or confirm anything
Honestly,considering what happened in OiaLT, I hope Cari doesn't go this route or if so, makes it distinct enough so it isn't just repeating plot points. Don't get me wrong, in OiaLT it was handled well,but I don't want it showing up again in Eternum.

I can't wait till 0.3 is out!
I know it's impossible to know a date when, but I'm guessing roughly 3 months?
More or less, check out the progress bar regularly ^^
I just completed the game. The story is incredible and the humor is perfect. This game has you feel the whole spectrum of emotions. I won't stop thinking about it until 0.3 is out.
Thank you so much!
Couldn't agree more
Ngl, At first i was slightly sad that there wasn't that many NSFW content in the game but oh lord the story is so amazing and compelling it makes me forget that how sad i was, also with the current pacing of the story i think it makes sense why there aren that many (The NSFW contents that is) because the relationship between MC and other characters are still "building up", would be pretty weird if they just start " getting busy" on the get go. Keep up the good work ! I hope u get to reach ur milestone :)
Thanks Edo!
There will be a lot of NSFW scenes, but I want to create a good build-up first, yeah ^^
More games like this really need to be made, IMO
Why is Alex grayed out, I can think of anything I could have done to close her path but it looks that way and I noticed right at the end of V.2
You probably didn't have enough points with her, download the walkthrough to see where you could have missed points
ask her all 4 question or punch axel (it feel nice to punch that guy)
I really love this game! Oh and I have a question. When will 3.0 released? I can't wait to play it!!!
Thanks! Can't give a date yet, sorry
can't wait for 3.0
What can I say, I absolutely love this game.its not like other games where there is just porn.Story is really interesting and I hope dev would mantain that level of storytelling instead of making this another complete Porn game.
I'll try my best ^^
I originally came for the NSFW content but now I'm here for the story. Its just so wow.
Welcome to the club, lol.
Glad to hear that!
0.2 was the best Christmas present ever! The new transitions and animations are incredible. You are an amazing artist, and like I've said previously, your storytelling is as well. Can't wait to learn more about Calypso!

Alright, 0.2 was probably the coolest Christmas present I've gotten in the last few decades. Thank you for that. Loved the new events, I just wish they lasted about a thousand times longer because oh God I want more.
Still believe that Thanatos guy is secretly Stabby Mike. :P
I... do actually prefer the previous relationship screens and gallery, though. >_> Not important, I just thought they had more style/looked cooler in 0.1.
Thank you so much!
can you make less horror things please?
Can't help it 😈
Absolute banger of an episode, Caribdis. I can't wait until 0.3 drops, this is probably my favorite and most anticipated game on this site.
(spoilers below for anyone who hasn't played 0.2)
Also, did Nova have Dione transform into the AWP sniper from CSGO at one point? That model looked familiar... ;)
Haha maybe 😁
Thank you!
Damn I didn't expect that cliffhanger, been enjoying the game so far. Can't wait for 0.3 and also goodluck on the development!
Thank you!
... I love the new save naming system
Hahahaha
Amazing game so far, just like Once in a lifetime. Great characters, humor and interesting story. I made an account here just so I could let you know how much I'm enjoying it.
Quick question, is there a way to pay for a handful of updates? Say 60 for the next 3 or so? Or do I have to be a patron.

Haha I'd love that
So I activated the text to speech by accident and I accidentally found a typo the 2nd time u first meet Dalia lol. "So with all these years that have passed, what *you have* been up to?..." Just wanted to point something out just this once haha
Thanks!
Thanks Ocelot !
Wow. I like to check things out before I contribute. This project deserves contribution. Some gray matter and sense of humor have gone into this. You deserve applause.
This definitely is more than the typical nonsensical, porn-VN, and one actually can relate to the protagonist and the other characters. Way more than superficial bots in here!
Bravo!
Thank you very much Sidstoic <3
Great game in development! I like the way of storytelling, the fact that all female characters are almost equally likeable and have depth. ( I almost wish the game'd be more interactive, to be 'really' playing Eternum, but - wrong genre ;-). Keep up the good work, I'm playing again for the less obvious choices (shovel / goat).
Thank you very much! I'd like a real Eternum too :P
So..... I just finished 0.2 and............ wow......... I mean........ a gem of doom.............
